SALT LAKE CITY A Utah lawmaker is crafting three bills for the upcoming legislative session to bolster animal-safety laws.
The Humane Society of Utah asked state Sen. Gene Davis to sponsor the bills, including one which seeks to make cockfighting a felony.
Though cockfighting is illegal in all 50 states, Utah is one of 15 where cockfighting is only a misdemeanor crime, Humane Society Executive Director Gene Baierschmidt said.
Utahs neighboring states have made it a felony, which draws those participating in cockfighting into the state where the penalties arent as harsh, Baierschmidt said.
Davis, a Salt Lake City Democrat, also is planning legislation that would make it illegal to tether a dog outside for more than 10 hours. There is currently no limit on how long a dog can be tied up.
Davis said dogs that are tied up in yards for long periods of time bark excessively, have difficulty socializing and sometimes develop deep collar marks in their necks.
Chaining a dog for long stretch of time isnt good animal husbandry, the minority leader said.
If you have your animal and its a pet and is a part of your family, then make it a part of your family. You have to spend time with the animal and not keep it tied up all day, he said.
Davis proposal would make violations a misdemeanor that comes with a $250 fine.
The Salt Lake Tribune reported that Daviss third animal-safety proposal would restrict the sale of dogs in unregulated places such as parking lots.
The Humane Society said those kind of roadside puppy sales can result in unplanned pet purchases where people later realize they dont want the animals and give them up, adding to the influx at Utah shelters. Those unregulated sales can also involve animals with harmful diseases such as parvovirus, which can result in rashes and arthritis for humans.
Davis said professional breeders or legitimate sellers that get animals spayed and vaccinated are not the target of the legislation.
Republican Rep. Curtis Oda of Clearfield said he hasnt seen Davis proposals yet, but said hes concerned the tethering law could cause problems. Oda said a neighbor could report someone for tethering their animal without knowing why the pet is chained.

The solar panel size is around 90 x 90 x 25 mm. It provides energy of 5V 100mA with the conversion efficiency above 16%. Apart from the solar energy, it can also be powered with the USB interface and AC outlet.
If the solar-powered portable led lamp is powered by the sunlight, it can be used to charge mobile phones, MP3, MP4, digital cameras etc. via the mini USB output and the build-in lithium polymer battery. If the lamp is charged via USB, it will take about four to five hours; while it will take about 13 to 18 hours, if it is charged via sunlight.
Once the charge for the led lamp is done, it can light for about 5 hours and if it is used for charging phone, MP3 or MP4, it will take about 3-6 hours.
The solar-powered LED lamp has the on/off switch and long press for light adjusting. The foldable stand of the lamp makes it convenient and easy to carry while camping and for outside activities.

Throwback Thursday: Becoming an Accordance User
Last week, I told you about my first exposure to Accordance: a demo at my seminary that turned out to be life-changing. In this week's "Throwback Thursday," I'll reminisce about how I became an Accordance user.
As I mentioned last week, I had to wait two years for Accordance to be released. After about a year-and-a-half, I found myself getting really impatient to have access to a good Bible software program on my Mac. I toyed with buying other commercial Bible programs, but they all seemed inordinately expensive for what they had to offer. None of them could really do Greek and Hebrew well, so I kept holding out for Accordance. At one point I even asked a professor whom I knew to be an Accordance beta-tester if I should settle for something else, and he assured me that Accordance would be well worth the wait.
Accordance 1.0 was finally released in February 1994, so it happens to be entering its third decade this month. At the time of its initial release, I believe it came with the grammatically-tagged Greek New Testament, a couple of English Bibles, and not much else. There were no tools or user notes yet (those were added in 2.0), no Bible Atlas (that wouldn't come until 3.5), and no English Bibles tagged with Strong's numbers (those came in 4.0). Yet what Accordance did, it did so well as to be truly ground-breaking. While there were mainframe and DOS programs that let you search the tagged Greek New Testament long before Accordance came along, they required the user to learn a kind of programming language to perform complex searches. Accordance took the Macintosh principles of interface design and applied them to the complex task of original language searching. The result was a Biblical language research tool "for the rest of us."
One of the clearest examples of this Mac-like approach to language study was the Construct window. If you're not yet familiar with it, the Construct window is a graphical framework for defining complex word relationships. By dragging search criteria into place and then defining relationships between them, you can easily construct some incredibly sophisticated searches. Here's a screenshot of what the Construct window looked like back then:
Even today, when I demonstrate Accordance at the annual meetings of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) and the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL), I find that scholars and students working in the original languages are absolutely blown away by features of Accordance that have been around since version 1.0. When they see how easy it is to search the Greek and Hebrew without having to think like a programmer, they get really excited.
By the time Accordance 1.0 was released, I had begun working for a large church as the "Scribe." Tongue-in-cheek job title aside, I was tasked with ghost-writing books which would summarize each year's preaching series. I soon realized how much I needed a good Bible program, so I asked the church to purchase Accordance for me.
I distinctly remember my excitement when the Accordance floppy disks and manual arrived. I hastily started the installation and skimmed the manual while I waited. One of the first things I did after initially playing around with it was to begin defining and organizing my custom search ranges. I started with ranges like Old Testament, New Testament, Pentateuch, Gospels, etc. Then when I did all those I could think of, I decided it would be handy to have a range for each book of the Bible. I remember getting all the way through the Old Testament books and starting on the New Testament books when Accordance crashed on me! I believe I tried several more times to add books but each time, Accordance would crash. I later learned that Accordance had a limit of 50 ranges, and each time I exceeded it, the software would quit. I eventually gave up trying to add more ranges, but once I started working for the company, I lobbied for the ability to have more than 50!
If there were other bugs in that 1.0 release, I honestly can't remember them. I soon found Accordance to be one of the fastest and most stable apps I owned, and I can't describe the joy I felt when doing research for my books. I have never been more satisfied with a software purchase.
One evidence of my early enthusiasm for Accordance was that I wasted no time mailing in my registration card—something I typically never do. Little did I know how life-changing that decision would prove to be … but that's a story for the next "Throwback Thursday."

2 Live Crew Lyrics
2 Live Crew's Photo
2 Live Crew Biography
No rap group (save, perhaps, N.W.A) has stirred more controversy or provoked more heated debate than the 2 Live Crew. The furor over the graphic s**ual content of their X-rated party rhymes -- specifically their 1989 album As Nasty as They Wanna Be -- was a major catalyst in making rap music a flash point for controversy and an easily visible target for self-appointed moral guardians. The fierce attacks on the group's First Amendment rights put many of their defenders in an awkward position -- pa**ionately supporting their freedom of speech on the one hand, but often finding little artistic merit in their music. And they were indeed crude and coarse, and frequently misogynistic by most standards; even if they fit squarely into a tradition of raunchy, s**ually explicit black comedy (Redd Foxx, Rudy Ray Moore, Blowfly, etc.), many critics and intellectuals found their view of s** repellently juvenile, even ugly (and if they found it funny, it was hard to say so publicly). Despite (or, more likely, because of) that fact, the 2 Live Crew were fairly popular even before all the uproar and benefited greatly at first from all the publicity, although later on the novelty perhaps wore off due to overexposure. Regardless of whether one enjoys their sense of humor, to focus only on the controversy ignores the 2 Live Crew's musical contributions. They were responsible for popularizing the booming, hard-driving sound of Miami ba** music, and they were the founding fathers of a populist, dance-oriented rap subgenre that relied on simple, explicit chants and up-tempo rump-shaking grooves, appropriately dubbed "booty rap."br /br /Despite their inextricable link to Miami, the 2 Live Crew actually started out in California, with a membership of Fresh Kid Ice (born Chris Wong Won in Trinidad), DJ Mr. Mixx (born David Hobbs), and Amazing V. The trio released their debut single, "Revelation," in 1985 and its popularity in Florida led the group -- sans Amazing V -- to move to Miami, and after second single "What I Like," they were joined by Brother Marquis (born Mark Ross). They scored a record deal with local impresario Luke Skyywalker (born Luther Campbell in Miami), who initially served as their manager, and then joined the group as a performer and bandleader. With Campbell came a big part of the group's on-record taste for sleaze, and accordingly their 1986 debut album, The 2 Live Crew Is What We Are, featured songs like "We Want Some p**y" and "Throw the D" (as in dick). It became a word-of-mouth success, eventually going gold. Even at this early stage, obscenity was an issue; in 1987, a Florida record store clerk was acquitted of felony charges after selling the album to a 14-year-old girl. Campbell hit upon the idea of selling "clean" and "dirty" versions of the group's albums so that younger fans would have a less explicit alternative. 1987's Move Somethin' was the first album released in this format, and it became an even bigger underground hit than its predecessor thanks to notorious cuts like "One and One," an X-rated retelling of the Kinks' "All Day and All of the Night" (which established the Crew's penchant for blatantly copped samples). In 1988, a record store in Alabama was fined for selling a copy of Move Somethin' to an undercover cop (a conviction later overturned on appeal), setting the stage for the Crew's home state to declare war.br /br /As Nasty as They Wanna Be was released in 1989 and became the group's biggest hit yet; the single "Me So Horny" even climbed into the Top 40 despite virtually nonexistent airplay. Word spread even farther about the group's unadulterated raunchiness, attracting the attention of the ultraconservative watchdog group the American Family Association, who weren't satisfied with the album's parental advisory warning sticker. AFA supporter Jack Thompson, a lawyer and religious activist, convinced Florida governor Bob Martinez to open an inquiry into whether As Nasty as They Wanna Be violated Florida obscenity laws. The state prosecutor determined that action had to be taken on the local, not state, level, and thus in early 1990 Broward County sheriff Nick Navarro obtained a copy of the album and secured a ruling from County Circuit Court Judge Mel Grossman that there was probable cause that the album was legally obscene. Navarro warned record stores around the county that selling the album might subject them to prosecution, and the 2 Live Crew filed suit alleging that Navarro had unconstitutionally overstepped his bounds. In June, District Court Judge Jose Gonzalez ruled that As Nasty as They Wanna Be was legally obscene, and therefore illegal to sell. Record retailer Charles Freeman was arrested two days later for selling the album to an undercover cop, and the three rapping members of the 2 Live Crew were arrested on obscenity charges for performing material from the record in a local club. They were acquitted a few months afterward, thanks in part to expert testimony from Duke professor Henry Louis Gates, and Freeman's conviction was later overturned on appeal.br /br /Meanwhile, As Nasty as They Wanna Be had become the forbidden fruit of choice for teenage boys across the country, selling over two million copies. Several other incidents were reported around the country involving record store owners being arrested for selling the album. The publicity also attracted the attention of George Lucas, who successfully sued Campbell for trademark infringement over his stage and label name, Luke Skyywalker; he subsequently shortened both to Luke. Capitalizing on the media frenzy, Campbell struck a distribution deal with Atlantic and put together a semipolitical album called Banned in the U.S.A., after securing rights for the title track from Bruce Springsteen; it was billed to Luke Featuring 2 Live Crew. It sold like hotcakes on first release, and the title single became the group's second Top 40 hit. In 1991, the group released the first full-length live rap album ever, Live in Concert, as well as the official follow-up to As Nasty as They Wanna Be, Sports Weekend. They sold disappointingly, especially considering the group's recent notoriety, and proved to be the last albums they would record together as a quartet. To compound matters, Luke Records was successfully sued for 1,600,000 million dollars in royalties by MC Shy D.br /br /In 1992, the Court of Appeals in Atlanta overturned Jose Gonzalez's ruling that As Nasty as They Wanna Be was legally obscene. At issue was Gonzalez's refusal to heed expert testimony (he'd pronounced himself fit to judge community standards of decency, since he'd lived in the community for 30 years), as well as the fact that the burden of proof of obscenity should have rested with Sheriff Navarro, who submitted nothing besides a copy of the album as evidence. The appeals court's decision was later upheld by the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the 2 Live Crew were drifting apart. Luke and Fresh Kid Ice both released solo albums (I Got sh** on My Mind and The Chinaman, respectively), and original Crew members Ice and Mr. Mixx teamed up as the Rock on Crew for Deal With This. Luke continued his solo career over the rest of the '90s.br /br /In 1994, Luke, Fresh Kid Ice, and new rapper Verb (born Larry Dobson) regrouped as the New 2 Live Crew, issuing the album Back at Your Ass for the Nine-4. The same year, the group found itself back in court yet again, this time over a lawsuit by the publishers of Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman." They charged 2 Live Crew with plagiarism for recording a parody of the song on As Clean as They Wanna Be, alleging that the reinterpretation tarnished the image of the original. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled that parody constituted fair use and found in favor of the group. The New 2 Live Crew didn't last long as Luke chose to concentrate on his solo career. In 1995, Luke Records filed for bankruptcy, as Campbell was beset by creditors and expenses; both he and the remaining 2 Live Crew wound up on Lil' Joe, a label founded by his ex-business partner Joe Weinberger. In 1996, Fresh Kid Ice, Brother Marquis, and Mr. Mixx re-formed the 2 Live Crew without Campbell and released Shake a Lil' Somethin'. Brother Marquis departed afterward, and down to the two original California members, the 2 Live Crew issued The Real One in 1998. Luke, meanwhile, continued to record steadily, as well as releasing several compilation albums showcasing new South Florida talent. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Gigi Sayfan specializes in cross-platform object-oriented programming in C/C++/ C#/Python/Java with emphasis on large-scale distributed systems. He is currently trying to build intelligent machines inspired by the brain at Numenta (www.numenta.com).
In Your Own MP3 Duration Calculator: Part 1, I presented a program called "MP3 Duration Calculator" (MDC) that I wrote for my wife Liat who recently completed certification as a spinning instructor. Spinning instructors need to create CDs with music for each class that matches the class content and MDC allows Liat to quickly select different song ands see the total duration of all the songs.
Liat was excited and started browsing her music collection and selecting songs for her first ever spinning class. She was marginally pleased with the interface but complained that the total duration text box is a little obscure. Then something terrible happend! Liat had already selected a bunch of songs and by accident clicked without holding control on another songs. Her entire selection was gone and replaced with the single last song. That was pretty late (about 2:00 a.m.) and her class was scheduled for 8:00 a.m. Liat was upset and re-selected all the songs again. Finally, all the songs were there and it was time to burn the CD. That's when we discovered that we ran out of blank CDs. Alas, Liat brought several commercial CDs to her first spinning class and swapped them manually.
So, it wasn't the best software debut ever. The good thing is that there was a lot of room for improvement. Liat ran into a few other issues. When selecting songs, she sometimes didn't recognize the song's name or just wanted to listen to it to make sure it's appropriate. She had to go to Windows Explorer, find the song, and click on it to being up the Windows Media Player. This process was tedious and broke the flow of selecting songs. After selecting all the songs, she had to manually select them again in Windows Explorer to burn them. Finally, Liat also wanted to print a list of all the songs and their duration. Obviously it was time for Version 2.0.
New Requirements
Before launching into full-blown development, we sat down and compiled the following list of requirements for MDC 2.0:
- Make total duration more prominent
- Check boxes for selection (one song toggle)
- Show # of selected songs
- Play songs from within MDC
- Copy selected songs to a new folder
- Export song list to a CSV file
- Remember last folder
One of the main features of MDC 1.0 was its interactivity. Collecting the track information can take a while for folders with tens or hundreds of songs. MDC was never blocked. You could always do the all the selection operations you wanted on the available subset of songs and MDC displayed the total duration. I wanted to preserve this capability for MDC 2.0 where the user will be able to select and also play songs while more tracks are collected.

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) – The White House on Sunday fired back at former President Jimmy Carter, calling him "increasingly irrelevant" a day after Carter described George W. Bush's presidency as the worst in history in international relations.Carter, a Democrat, said on Saturday in an interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that "as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history."White House spokesman Tony Fratto had declined to react on Saturday but on Sunday fired back."I think it's sad that President Carter's reckless personal criticism is out there," Fratto told reporters. "I think it's unfortunate. And I think he is proving to be increasingly irrelevant with these kinds of comments."Carter has been an outspoken critic of Bush, but the White House has largely refrained from attacking him in return. Sunday's sharp response marks a departure from the deference that sitting presidents traditionally have shown their predecessors.In the newspaper interview, Carter said Bush had taken a "radical departure from all previous administration policies" with the Iraq war."We now have endorsed the concept of pre-emptive war where we go to war with another nation militarily, even though our own security is not directly threatened, if we want to change the regime there or if we fear that some time in the future our security might be endangered," Carter said.In a separate BBC interview, Carter also denounced the close relationship between Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair."Abominable. Loyal, blind, apparently subservient," Carter said when asked how he would characterize Blair's relationship with Bush."I think that the almost undeviating support by Great Britain for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world," Carter said.Carter, who was president from 1977-1981 and won the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize for his charitable work, was an outspoken opponent of the invasion of Iraq before it was launched in 2003. [Source: Reuters.com]
Across the blogosphere, conservatives are now making the rather shocking claim that 9/11 occurred as a result of Jimmy Carter's policies. In a way, it's amusing, since most of those bloggers are too young to even remember the Carter presidency. As a middle-aged left Libertarian, I remember it well. Jimmy Carter was the first president I ever voted for, although he lost that time around to Ronald Reagan. I voted for Carter because he is a humanist who believes in a strict policy of non-military intervention in international affairs, opting instead for diplomacy, except if our national security is directly threatened. After all, I was alive during Vietnam, and during the height of the Cold War, so that was (and will always be) an extremely important issue for me.
At the same time, it's typical that conservatives would find a way to blame the actions of George W Bush – decades after Jimmy Carter left office – on a liberal. After all, they can't blame themselves for re-electing a known warmonger who openly advocates torture and the erosion of our civil rights …. can they?
Let's compare the two presidents.
Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize. George W. Bush couldn't even win second prize in a beauty contest on Monopoly.
Jimmy Carter is known as a peace-advocating diplomat, and a humanitarian. George W Bush is known as a lying, draft-dodging, bloodthirsty warmongerer.
Don't blame a man, who advocated peace, for a war that started decades after he left office. And don't just dismiss him because he dared to say what many, if not most, politically active Americans are already thinking.
Put the blame where the blame is due. This is a war based on lies and deceptions, all of which are directly traceable and attributable to the Bush administration. There were no WMDs, folks, and Bush knew there were no WMDs; but he attacked Iraq anyway because they might one day get WMDs. Huh? I'm still scratching my head about that one. Now, Bush wants to attack even more countries, and the Democrats have already backed off the promises they made when they were elected, to end the war in Iraq. Is it therefore any wonder that third parties are more attractive than ever to voters during the 2008 presidential election cycle? (more…)

Intel Atom C3958 gets benchmarked on GIGABYTE's MA10 motherboardOctober 09, 2017
By Aleksandar Kostovic
We previously covered the release of GIGABYTE's MA10 motherboard and we were impressed by the features it offers.
The Atom C3958 it uses is a fully fledged server-grade SoC with 16 cores each clocked at 2.0GHz with 1MB of L2 cache per core. It features Intel's QuickAssist Technology (QAT) which is their name for a whole range of hardware-assisted crypto acceleration and compression tools designed to secure and route internet traffic.
Now, we have benchmarks under Linux OS thanks to the guys over at ServeTheHome.
The test was done with the following setup:
- GIGABYTE MA10-ST0 (with Intel Atom C3958 CPU)- 64GB of Micron Ram running at 2400MHz- Intel DC3710 400Gb SSD- Intel DC3700 200GB used as boot device
After running eight different benchmarks, the Atom C3958 outperformed the last gen C2758 by a landslide. It managed to beat it due to increased instructions per cycle and the higher core count (from 8 to 16).
If you want to see the full benchmarks and to read more info about Intel's QuickAssist functionality, we recommend you visit ServeTheHome.

Started in 1985, the biochemistry major is jointly administered by the Departments of Chemistry and Biology. Faculty in both departments have expertise in classical biochemistry and in modern biology and genetics. We believe strongly, however, that an undergraduate education in biochemistry should provide students with a broad education in the liberal arts as well as knowledge of all facets of biochemistry. College general education requirements ensure that students are exposed to the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts.
Laboratory aspects of modern biochemistry are covered in the required three-semester sequence in Experimental Chemistry, in the required Genetics and Cell Biology courses. Because our coverage is broad, students who graduate with a degree in biochemistry are qualified to enter graduate programs or medical, dental, and optometry schools and to pursue careers as laboratory technicians or health administrators. We provide a solid base of required courses in biology, chemistry, and biochemistry while at the same time allowing students to pursue their particular interests in advanced courses and in original research. Students who are interested in teaching at the secondary school level can receive a degree in biochemistry and fulfill the requirements for teacher education.
For more information, contact the chemistry department, the biology department, or a Steering Committee member listed below. In addition, we encourage prospective students to visit the campus and our departments, if possible. We are happy to arrange tours of our facilities and to provide opportunities to meet faculty members and students currently enrolled in our program.

Free 32-bit processor core hits the Net
Free 32-bit processor core hits the Net
By Peter Clarke, EE Times
February 28, 2000 (10:52 a.m. EST)
URL: http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG20000228S0007
LONDON A loose-knit organization called OpenCores is offering a free 32-bit processor intellectual-property (IP) core in a move that could undermine such commercial IP licensors as ARM and MIPS. Before the end of this month, engineers should be able to download VHDL description files and documentation for the OpenRISC 1000 core over the Internet at no charge. Engineers can already download a C language compiler free. The engineers should then be able to work with the core, add to it, synthesize it for FPGA or ASIC implementation, and build a whole product line around it all at no cost. The one catch is that the OpenRISC 1000 comes with minimal support. So if engineers can't get the core to work, or if it is not all it's claimed to be, they are largely on their own. Nonetheless, analysts say the offering, and others like it, may eventually alter the semiconductor IP landscape as radically as Linux has transformed the operat ing-systems market.

The one catch is that the OpenRISC 1000 comes with minimal support. So if engineers can't get the core to work, or if it is not all it's claimed to be, they are largely on their own.
Nonetheless, analysts say the offering, and others like it, may eventually alter the semiconductor IP landscape as radically as Linux has transformed the operat ing-systems market.
The move has raised warning flags at IP companies. According to the OpenCores organization, ARM Ltd. (Cambridge, England), the leading licensor of processor cores, has already warned the group not to build clones of any of its cores. Nevertheless, the OpenCores organization said it is working on an OpenRISC version that executes the MIPS-I instruction set of MIPS Technologies Inc. (Mountain View, Calif.), an ARM rival.
OpenRISC 1000, which is not a clone and executes its own set of instructions, is due to be available from the OpenCores Web site in a matter of days. That site is one of many such sites sprouting from a fertile hobbyist and academic non-commercial ethos that would make hardware IP cores available free. Other such sites include those of OpenIP and the Free-IP Project.
The approach is similar to the practice among amateur programmers of making software utilities and games available free over the Internet.
The OpenCores Web site says that the VHDL source code for the OpenRISC 1000 CPU core and a combined MMU and cache will be available this month.
Damjan Lampret, a 22-year-old computer science student at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, is one of the forces behind www.opencores.org and a designer of the OpenRISC architecture. "We are modeling ourselves on the Free Software Foundation. We're trying to work in a similar way," he said, speaking over the telephone from Ljubljana.
Clubby group
"We're not a legal entity; it's more like a club. But people are starting to work together, and some designs are already done."
The design elements come from students, hobbyists and professional engineers who communicate by e-mail and instant messaging and who so metimes don't even know in what countries their correspondents and collaborators live. For them, the e-mail address or ICQ number of a collaborator is all-important and the collaborator's physical location irrelevant.
In the last two months of 1999, Lampret and his co-workers designed the 32-bit microprocessor architecture that they call OpenRISC 1000, or OR1K. Lampret also ported the GNU C-compiler to the OpenRISC architecture and is making them both available on the Internet. An OpenRISC prototyping board comprises a Xilinx FPGA and Xilinx programmable-logic device.
"OR1K is small and quite fast. It occupies about 70 percent of the smallest Xilinx Virtex gate array, which they label as 50k gates, and runs at about 100 MHz," said Lampret.
The design first ran compiled C code on the prototype board late on Dec. 31, he said, communicating some of the excitement he felt at the time. "Exactly before midnight on New Year's night, OR1K executed its first instructions actually, several millions of them."
Lampret said the initial goal had been to publish the core in 1999 and to port the Linux operating system to it, but preparation for his university exams set back that schedule. Further, the documentation effort has lagged development of the OpenRISC design.
"The design is more or less complete, but I am working to make it more generic. There are some aspects of the design that are Virtex-dependent that need to be replaced," he said.
The starting premise for the work was a single-issue minimal RISC implementation that would come close to executing one instruction per cycle and that would be good for embedded applications.
Basic RISC
"I studied most of the RISC architectures that exist today and developed my own list of the most common and useful instructions. It's closest to the DLX or early MIPS architecture. It's a very basic 32-bit RISC with a load-store architecture and no floating-point capability at the moment," Lampret said. (The DLX processor is a RISC machi ne described by the pioneers of RISC, John Hennessy and David Patterson, in their book Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach (Morgan Kaufmann Publishers Inc.).
Lampret said he has settled on a mixed 16- and 32-bit instruction format. Although he has not pursued 16-bit format instructions or 16-to-32-bit instruction format translation (used in ARM's Thumb and considered good for embedded applications because it improves code density), Lampret said OpenRISC code is still compact compared with that of many other processors.
"I compiled the same code for X86, Sparc, MIPS and Alpha, and they were all bigger compiled programs," he said.
The register file architecture is similar to that of the Sparc, Lampret said. "It makes sense to have register windows. At the moment we have thirty-two, 32-bit registers, but that could change with different implementations."
Lampret said he had no hardware performance benchmarks yet but that software simulation of the Dhrystone benchmark showed the OpenRISC 1000 achieving 100 Mips at 100 MHz.
Jim Tully, EDA analyst with Gartner Group's Dataquest subsidiary in Egham, England, said, "Who's to say that this couldn't evolve into something the industry could use? Before Linux came along, who would have said that [the Linux phenomenon] could happen?" Tully said, "People will be paranoid about [OpenRISC's] background, its provenance, its quality. On the face of it no one would want to look at it, but no doubt people will download free cores and try them out in low-risk situations. If OpenRISC works, it could migrate up."
Tully observed that Sun Microsystems had done something similar with community source licensing of its Sparc architecture, although Sun requires users to pay unit royalties when chips including the Sparc are manufactured, so it is not a free processor.
Need for control
But Tully warned that for any processor architecture to be successful, some central control of the compatibility of different versions is needed and that requires administrative and legal effort.
While Lampret's and OpenCore's philosophy is that the OpenRISC should be available for anybody to download, Lampret is finding it is impossible to avoid legal complications.
"If we are going to have a community license, along the lines of Linux, [users] must return any changes or enhancements to us, but we have not yet decided on that," he said. "We may have a GPL license, a general public license as defined by the Free Software Foundation."
Why would a student, or anyone else, design a useful and therefore potentially valuable IP core and then give it away? "Many reasons," said Lampret. "Although I am still a student, I have worked for many companies. Once I get another job, I will be too occupied to do much on OpenRISC.
"Also, I would like to work in Silicon Valley, and to get a job there you need good references. The best reference is to show your work, but it is often not possible to bring work from a previous employer. OpenRISC should be a good reference."
The trend among students and hobbyists to field free cores doesn't seem to have the established commercial IP and chip vendors running scared, but it does have them restating their legal positions.
Lampret said OpenCores had considered designing a clone of one of the ARM RISC cores, essentially taking the list of instructions that an ARM core executes and building a machine that could do the same and therefore would be able to run compiled ARM code.
"We contacted ARM [about the possibility], but their response was, 'You'd better not do that.' Can they do that?" Lampret asked.
At ARM Ltd., Pete Magowan, vice president of worldwide sales, said the company takes "the protection of our intellectual property very seriously but can't comment on specific cases. We prefer an open partnership model that broadens access to ARM architectures."
Lampret is still refining OpenRISC and has a superscala r version of the core, dubbed OpenRISC 1002, that's optimized for speed. The dual-issue OpenRISC should operate at 170 MHz in a Xilinx XCV-E FPGA and offer about 250 Mips of performance, Lampret said.
He further claims to have a 'lite' version, the OpenRISC 1001, optimized for gate count that runs at 80 MHz in a Xilinx Virtex XCV50 and that provides 80 Mips of performance. The core can be adapted to run MIPS-I code, Lampret said.
"You can replace the decoder module and some minor parts of OR1K with a set that is designed for MIPS-I [instructions], synthesize it and then execute MIPS-I code," Lampret explained via e-mail. "I don't know what MIPS will say about this. Perhaps ARM will be next."
MIPS Technologies declined to comment on a core about which it claims to know very little. Last year, however, MIPS sued Lexra Inc. (Waltham, Mass.), a designer of MIPS-like cores, alleging patent infringement. Lexra countersued, asserting that it does not infringe MIPS' patents and requesting that the patents referred to in the MIPS suit, filed Oct. 28, 1999, be declared invalid. It also seeks legal remedies against MIPS for interference with Lexra's business relations.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida Supreme Court says a man is also liable for a fatal accident caused by his estranged wife because his name was on the car's title.
Robert Christensen and his wife Mary Taylor-Christensen had a car with a title in both their names, but they were going through a divorce and lived separately. He didn't have keys to the car or access to the garage where she kept it. The court ruled Thursday he is still liable in a lawsuit filed after Taylor-Christensen struck and killed a man.
A jury originally found Christensen wasn't liable. The wife of the deceased appealed. The Supreme Court ruled that Christensen still had the benefit of owning the vehicle, even if he didn't have access to it, and so was still responsible.

Oakland First Fridays: Bigger not better
When it comes to Oakland's First Friday and Art Murmur scene, Mayor Jean Quan is right about one thing: The downtown co-events are a boon to local restaurants and bars, promoting the idea that at least once a month it's OK to come to downtown Oakland and hang out.
However, the history of large public festivals in Oakland tell a much different story, one that suggests the city often becomes a victim of its own success.
Can you say Carijama? How about Festival at the Lake?
Both were previously popular Oakland events that drew thousands but ended when the big crowds became unruly mobs.
Now the Art Murmur, and its outgrowth, the First Friday Street Festival, combine for one big monthly night gathering featuring arts, crafts, street performers and food booths in downtown Oakland that has grown in popularity and size - one event drew a record crowd of more than 20,000 people last fall.
The co-events have had some problems, but none as bad as what happened Friday after the street festival when a gunman opened fire and hit four people, killing one.
Some people, including Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan, believe that maybe the events have grown too large to control.
Quan, however, said that while she was concerned about the shooting, she wants to see the events grow even bigger.
In a phone interview on Sunday, I grasped to find a strand of logic in the mayor's wave of rambling ideas.
"I am concerned about it," she said of Friday's shooting, which injured three bystanders. "But we'd already been pumping up security for the event, merchant groups have hired extra security - and we will soon have more lighting.
"Each month it's different and after six years I'm sad it happened, but we need to make changes so it will be safer."
Police sweeps after 10 p.m., posting Alameda County sheriff's deputies at bus stops where crowds of 200 youth or more gathered last weekend and enforcing a ban on single-beer street sales are among the things Quan wants done.
"It's a garden that we're growing," Quan said.
Unfortunately, the mayor's rose-colored glasses don't shade the reality faced by the police chief when it comes to the street fair. "It's definitely gotten bigger than we planned and now we have to find a way to handle it," Jordan said on Monday. He wants to limit the street fair to its original size - between 27th Street and West Grand Avenue, but its popularity has carried crowds down to 19th Street, four blocks beyond its original location.
Jordan's motivations are different from the mayor's: He is required to approach the situation as a law enforcement issue while for Quan, the events are political capital. A monthly street fair that draws thousands of people, promotes the city and remains safe is a feather in her cap for a re-election campaign.
I understand the social value for Oakland - or any other big city - to be able to hold a reputable event free of violence and the political desire for Quan to say it happened on her watch.
But I also understand the value of historical hindsight and mathematical probability.
First Fridays and Art Murmur are the single most positive, feel-good events in the city - and they should not be halted by the actions of a few.
But the street fair should be pared down to a manageable size - and city officials should consider creating smaller community spin-off street fairs for specific neighborhoods spread throughout the year.
Oakland doesn't do big public parties well, it never has. If Quan ignores the city's history and the sound advice she's receiving from Jordan, and allows political necessity and hubris to guide her, she is taking a reckless risk and just asking for trouble.
Chip Johnson's column appears in The San Francisco Chronicle on Tuesday and Friday. E-mail: email@example.com

I'm establishing a shared development instance for multiple single-database applications.
I'm envisioning granting authorized users permissions to allow any schema and data modifications they need to perform, but want to prevent the same users from issuing
ALTER DATABASE commands to
ADD or
FILEs. This is to prevent any one developer from consuming additional disk space resources without consent from the DBA.
Looking at an approach using the least administrative effort, I'm thinking I should
grant db_owner to the authorized users and add a database or server trigger to block
ALTER DATABASE commands unless they come from DBA sessions.
Would this work or is there a better/safer approach?

Thoughts on the F-35's Extra Engine
I'm a bit late to the party in commenting on the passage of the Rooney Amendment, a successful effort on the part of 2nd‐term Republican Tom Rooney (R‐Fla.) to strip funding for the F-136, an engine that the Pentagon doesn't want for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
A few additional thoughts: unlike nearly all other amendments to the CR, Rooney's passed, and fairly easily. Part of the reason is strong administration support for the effort, key especially to securing votes from Democrats — those who don't have F-136 plants in their districts, that is. But Gates had signaled his displeasure many times previously, so that alone doesn't explain this rare victory for budget hawks.
I would guess that an additional factor is the slew of new Republicans elected on a platform of fiscal prudence. Having Rooney as a champion for the cause certainly helped, with 110 Republicans voting for the amendment (vote tally here). A majority within the GOP still treat weapons contractors with kid gloves, but claiming that every single weapon system is essential to the nation's survival can get pretty laughable, especially when the Secretary of Defense and all the relevant uniformed officers disagree.
(Speaking of laughable, wouldn't it be absurd for the Obama administration to threaten to veto the CR because it now has too little money for the Pentagon? Wait. That happened.)
Much as I would like to dwell on the defeat of the F-136 in the House, however, I am sobered by the reality of budgeting for the military. This is hardly the final blow in this battle. Opponents and supporters of the extra engine in the Senate have already lined up their forces. The engine might yet re‐emerge. And we must not lose sight of the fact that the total amount saved — $450 million — is tiny relative to the Pentagon's budget of around $540 billion in this fiscal year. Perhaps rather than debating the need for a second engine, we should be debating the need for a plane that is grossly over budget, badly behind schedule, and riddled with performance problems?
So kudos to Congressman Rooney for leading this fight, but there is still much, much more to do to bring military spending down to reasonable levels. (For example, removing U.S. troops from Europe, a policy that already enjoys considerable support.)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Vancouver Whitecaps FC leaned into the attack when selecting 10 players in the MLS Expansion Draft on Wednesday.
"I think getting the right blend of experience and youth and leveraging deals to come was important," said Whitecaps FC Director of Soccer Operations Tom Soehn. "I think in the categories we had laid out, we checked them off today."
The Whitecaps opened their selections with young winger Sanna Nyassi of the Seattle Sounders. He was then traded to the Colorado Rapids in exchange for an international spot.
Nyassi was one of two Sounders players snagged by Vancouver, joined by central midfielder Nathan Sturgis, who earned a regular starter's role in the second half of the 2010 season.

"This is just the start of that rivalry, but we didn't do it for any other reason than we felt they were two very good players," said Whitecaps FC President Bob Lenarduzzi.
Six of Vancouver's selections play either striker or winger. Among those attacking players is recent MLS Cup finalist Atiba Harris. The former FC Dallas man played an integral role in his team's success, netting four goals and two assists in 2,473 minutes on the field this past year.
Another exciting prospect is winger Shea Salinas, who's cheeky finish against Houston finished third in 2010 AT&T Goal of the Year voting. The 24-year-old native Texan has scored three goals with five assists in his MLS career so far.
Vancouver selected Jamaican O'Brian White, a rangy striker who netted four times in two seasons with Toronto FC. "He's physical, big and strong," said head coach Teitur Thordarson. "He's a striker and we've been looking for strikers."
They snatched a couple more in Chivas USA striker Alan Gordon, the former Portland Timbers forward, who has 17 goals and 15 assists in his six-year MLS career, and Philadelphia's Alejandro Moreno, the most established striker chosen, having tallied 45 goals and 35 assists to his name.
However, all three were promptly traded away. White was passed on to the Seattle Sounders for allocation money. Gordon and Moreno were sent to Chivas USA in exchange for allocation money and an international spot.
Further experience will come from John Thorrington. The 31-year-old midfielder has spent the last five years with the Chicago Fire, totaling 4,263 minutes with eight goals and two assists. He's also spent time playing in Germany and England and has four caps with the US national team.
Vancouver also snapped up San Jose goalkeeper Joe Cannon. The 35-year-old shot stopper is a three-time MLS Cup winner and two-time Goalkeeper of the Year. He has 74 shutouts in his nine-year MLS career.
"When you look at the experienced guys that we got with John Thorrington and Joe Cannon, they fit the bill of guys that I thought we could compliment our team with," explained Soehn. "Having been through the national team, championships, and situations like that that, we felt could really translate well into the character of our team and also teaching our young guys."
Only one true defender was taken, Kansas City's Jonathan Leathers. The native of Athens, Georgia saw limited action in a reserve role this past year, playing 356 minutes with one assist during the 2010 season.
"It's a balance of everything," Soehn said. "Obviously getting Jay DeMerit signed was a big piece. We also feel like there's going to be [defensive] compliments down the road, which we know is going to be a vital part of making sure that we're a competitive team right from the get go."

BookArtObject is expanding
"Learning Absences", by Australian poet Rosemary Dobson. A poem about loss, I chose to interpret it through the very personal journey of my parents, as my father drifted into oblivion after the onset of dementia.
The illustration on the cover is a reproduction of one of my Dad's oil paintings, one of my favourites among several that I treasure. I titled the book "Drifting: living with dementia".
I'm not sure that I'd want to do something so personal and confronting again, and yet I feel it was very therapeutic and in spite of thinking many times that I'd abandon the entire project, I was supported and encouraged by other members of BookArtObject, and my family and friends.
The group coordinator, Sara, has put a group photo of our books here but has also placed several more photos on her Artist Books 3.0 page, well worth a look to see the different approaches we all took.
The collective has now expanded to fourteen and I'd like to welcome the new book artists/calligraphers/printers. I'm sure you will get as much enjoyment from the challenges presented as I have. Follow our progress on the BookArtObject site and meet the new members.

This is a very encouraging post, Carol, especially for newbies who may not have done collaborative work (or blogging!) before.ReplyDelete
Already, I'm thinking of angles...
Thank you for explaining the meaning and content of your book; it is beautiful!ReplyDelete
I understand the emotions involved in creating it, the difficulty of remembering and reliving the withering, change and loss of a loved one's mind. I have been there...
Hello Carol Di si here helping me with this "blogging" business and Di noticed that on teh cover of your book the letters "i and t" look like figures walking away. Such amazing stuff, art!.ReplyDelete
Thanks Di, you're one of the people who has encouraged me throughout the book making process.ReplyDelete
Anna, Thank you for your generous words. I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful work.
Alison, so good to see you here with Di. I hadn't noticed about the letters on my cover but you're quite right, it's a nice effect. That font is called 'Buffied" and is inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I love it.
WOW, Carol! What a fabulous book! I love the cover, am intrigued by the font, and thought the photographs that you shared were very dear. I can easily see why you sometimes thought of abandoning your project, as it must have been quite painful to deal with most of the time. I had no idea that your father was such a talented artist! Simply beautiful work!ReplyDelete
Dear CarolReplyDelete
Thank you for your message on my blog. I am looking forward to getting involved with the BookArtObject. I do feel as though I have got quite a bit of catching up to do!
Interesting that on your list of fave books in your profile you have put Barbara Nadel. I know her personally! She's brilliant
I can imagine how difficult designing your book must have been, I hope it helped you through the grieving process.ReplyDelete
How exciting to receive eight books, what a challenge to make 14!
I love to read your comments and I do reply to each. I've turned off word verification and comment moderation for the moment but will see how that goes.

If you were to pick some simple changes you could make to your lifestyle that would lead to immediate health benefits, reducing the amount of sugar would be close to the top of the list.
The story of my son Samuel is a good case in point. He just turned 24 years of age, and like most young adults, enjoys great health and is rarely sick. Sam rarely eats sugars or sugary foods, but it wasn't always like this. Just a few years ago, when he was a teenager, he was plagued with asthma and it seemed that every month or two he was coming down with some type of cold, sore throat or sinus infection.
Sam was a good kid, but like a lot of teens, he had a rebellious streak and wasn't about to listen to his nutritionally-oriented physician dad who seems to be forever harping on him to quit eating so much sugar. He based his behavior on what he saw his friends doing and argued that he actually ate much less sugar than they did. He was probably right as sugar consumption is at an all-time high and currently averages 150 pounds per person annually in the United States. Nonetheless, for some reason, he decided to give my advice a try and drastically cut his sugar consumption. His asthma improved dramatically and it's been years since the last time he got sick.
This came as no surprise to me because day in and day out I see health improvements in my patients after they reduce eating sugary foods. The leading causes of death and disability in the United States are heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. More than 50 percent of all deaths are due to heart disease and cancer alone. Many people avoid eating red meat and fatty foods to reduce their risk of heart attack and stroke. They would be much better off by avoiding sugar and sugary foods. It is true that a low saturated fat diet can help reduce harmful LDL cholesterol levels. However, reducing sugary foods will reduce triglycerides (blood fats) and increase HDL, the beneficial, heart-protective form of cholesterol, which can be even more important in reducing heart attack and stroke risk.
Cancer cells can only eat one food – sugar. Thousands of cancer cells are formed in the body as a course of everyday living and when you eat sugary foods, you're making sure these cancer cells have plenty to eat. A high sugar diet puts an extra strain on the pancreas to produce ever-increasing amounts of insulin. Eventually the pancreas wears out from the strain and is no longer able to produce enough insulin and diabetes results. High levels of insulin in the blood stream also lead to high blood pressure. The leading causes of death and disability in the United States are heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. You can reduce your risk of all of these simply by eating less sugary foods.
Two out of three Americans are overweight. Overeating and lack of exercise are mainly to blame, but just making one change to your diet - reducing the amount of sugary foods you eat – particularly when coupled with regular exercise, can help you lose weight very quickly.
Eating sugar is also mildly addictive and when you quit or drastically reduce the amount you eat, just like when ending any addictive behavior, withdrawal symptoms can occur. Fortunately, however, sugar withdrawal symptoms are relatively mild and only last a few days. Millions of people have ended their addiction to tobacco, which is far more difficult. Make reducing the amount of sugary foods you eat a priority and you'll be able to do it.
Reduce your sugar consumption gradually and expect a few days of withdrawal symptoms – headaches, irritability, lower energy – but these won't last very long and your health will be dramatically better as a result.
Happy anti-aging!
